[Bug other/14305] New: make install tries to modify source tree


Perhaps it is not really a bug, but at least I think it is unwanted.

> mkdir gcc-3.3.3-jr-obj
> cd gcc-3.3.3-jr-obj
> ../gcc-3.3.3-jr/configure --prefix=/tools/pkg/gcc/3.3.3 \
      --enable-languages=c,c++,f77
> make bootstrap

<changing user>

> make install

...
make[2]: Leaving directory `/pdv/.tools/inst/jrichter/gcc-3.3.3-jr-obj/gcc'
f/intdoc > ../../gcc-3.3.3-jr/gcc/f/intdoc.texi
/bin/sh: ../../gcc-3.3.3-jr/gcc/f/intdoc.texi: Permission denied

Here something wants to write to the source tree. But the install user has no 
permissions to write there.
